SYNOPSIS

He may be a player, but this stud’s not shooting blanks.

Nick

I’m nobody’s baby daddy. I don’t care how many stunning women throw themselves at me, looking to turn one hot night into an 18-year paycheck. I’ve got way too much on the line to throw it away for one night of pleasure.

Ball is life, and basketball is my first priority. I’ve got a championship to win.

But when I see that familiar face shaking her pom-poms on the sidelines, I’m transported back to childhood, back to the days before a fiery plane crash ripped us apart, forcing us to grow up overnight.

Those were the days when Eden Evans stole my heart. This time, I might be ready to give it right back to her.

Eden

I have no interest in a man who comes with groupies. With a rock legend for a father, I’ve seen the toll fame takes on a marriage. The last thing I need is a guy with more Twitter followers than Justin Bieber.

So when Nick Barnes dribbles his way back into my life, my heart and head go into battle. I can’t fight my desire for the sexy baller with his eight-pack abs and panty-dropping charm.

And when that little stick shows an unmistakable plus sign, suddenly everything is on the line.

With a secret baby on the way, will Nick realize that having the home court advantage is what he’s wanted all along?

This is a standalone romance novel with a HEA and no cliffhangers. Light on basketball and heavy on steamy romance, this is the first book featuring members of the Barnes family.

SYNOPSIS:

But Bridger has a powerful secret that threatens to ruin everything. Will exposing the truth about his secret life destroy the future they hope to build together?

SYNOPSIS

While his sins may be his undoing, her love could prove to be the salvation he desperately needs.

ABOUT NORMANDIE ALLEMAN

USA Today bestselling author Normandie Alleman is a former psychologist who has always been fascinated by human behavior. She loves writing quirky characters that are all too human. “I’m interested in the kind of relationships people have in real life. So I write about my characters’ messy, unpredictable, and inexplicable journeys to love.”

Normandie is a shameless basketball mom who lives with a houseful of teenagers, her own personal hero, and a pet pig who’s crazy for Red Bull. When she’s not writing or cheering for her favorite team, Normandie can be found listening to an audiobook or a podcast.

Nick has always wanted to play basketball and he is living the dream. His career is going perfectly when he sees the girl who he grew up with and always had a crush on, Eden Evans. Nick feels like he has met his soulmate with Eden, her beauty radiates and he knows he wants more with Eden. However life has a way of throwing hurdles in the way, will Nick and Eden be able to survive everything that is thrown in their way?

This was the type of book I have been looking for recently. I thought the story was fantastic and was routing for Nick and Eden. The audiobook version was perfect, I liked both the readers and felt completely pulled into the story. Anxious to see what happens to Nick’s siblings, this looks to be a fantastic series to follow.
